J. Cole - Port Antonio [Lyrics]

[Music] ride to it ride to it ride to it ride to it ride to it ride to it ride to it ride it ride to it ride to it it it uh young Chaine walked the straight and narrow minimum wage jobs for the narrow but still my mind was on the zeros I Fe for the perks that was seen flipping birds so we was skipping church but my eyes was on The Sparrows flipping pies spending thousands on the perrow I want shine too I want dim too jealous want to know just how my Rhymes blue

monoo I'm Bono I'm you times two now I'm boozy I done out crew the fountain blue but never forgot the spot where I develop my plot to dwell at the top the ve where all my skeletons lock if I could do it all over then I never would swap I seen good I seen bad had my melan and mocked I seen lifelong friends turn the devilish Ops I was miking red leather trying to tell them to stop you better beat it for you see the heavy metal get popped he was a mean ass sng with

a hell of a shot but if no team draft King he going to bet on the Block he want a ball till he fall until the federals knock and sit his ass on the from moving kous with rock you can't relate Les your father was not around and your mother went out and found someone Nelson and brought them round and they salaries didn't combin when they married and brought you out of that poverty then you moveed to a soft little part of town so that when you back in the hood you feel awkward about it

now then your confidence start to drown but the rapper gave you some positive thought so you jot them down you J them down it it it it ride it ride it ride to it ride to it y ain't stopping me y ain't stopping me y ain't stopping me y'all ain't stopping me y'all ain't stopping me y'all ain't stopping me y ain't stopping me yeah uh Benjamin Button cold flows reverse time to find deliveries good as mine you got to search primes I'm scaling Heights hi and birds can perch trying to be something hoping that peace

comes to my cursed mind one thing's for sure that I've matured from my first rhyme I learned long ago you can't please them all and it hurts trying in this game where all you've got is your name like dirt I'm smirking at nigg trying to to be smch M absurd times with a fake get to that is wise I can see hating both for your eyes but the third's blind so you search lines but you struggle which explains the puzzled look on the do face is the word finds I hate when raps become but like

do not disturb signs canot get if I see it's about the door they instigate the re because it's profitable but saying it stop the violence Tunes with dudes in hospitals I pulled the plug because I se where that was about to go they wanted blood they wanted clicks to make their pockets grow they see this fire in my pin and think I'm dodging smoke I wouldn't have lost the battle dog I would have lost the bro I would have gained the F and all for what just to attain some old props and strangers that don't

got a clue what I've been aiming for since the age of 14 Jermaine is no King if that means I got to dig up dirt and pay the whole team of algorithm bot just to sway the whole thing on social media competing for your favorable memes to be considered best a living rest the weight of both things I understand the Thirsty being first that made them both swing protecting legacies so lines got crossed perhaps regrett my friends went the War I walked away with all they blood on me now some will discredit me try wipe

away my pedigree but please find a niggaer out that's rapping this incredibly uh my dog texted me I share the words he said to me if you refuse to shoot the gun don't mean the gun ain't deadly uh I guess in that metaphor hypothetically the gun is me I text it back like guess a gun ain't what I'm trying to be my they strip me on my spot and now I'm finally free my they say I'm picking siid they don't you lie on me my to start another War hey Drake you'll always be my I

ain't ashamed to say you did a lot for me my all the narratives tapping back into your Magic Pen is what's imperative reminding these folks why we do it it's not for beefing it's for speaking our thoughts pushing ourselves reaching the charts reaching your minds keeping your hearts creeping the find emotions to touch something inside to open you up help you cope with the rough times and I'm sending love cuz we ain't Prim and my y' ain't stopping me yeah y' ain't stopping me y'all ain't stopping me y'all ain't stopping me y' ain't stopping me
